The Lorax

The Lorax is similar to our project in the sense a problem in the community is solved. In the case of
Sneedville, the main character addresses the environmental problem by starting the rebirth of trees with the planting of the last tree alive. In our case, we must seek out our own problem, and like the main character, must find a solution to accordingly address it. As for the movie in general, I was surprised at how the main theme of environmentalism was so dominant. The movie itself addressed pollution in a rather light way, but still portrayed the dangers of a completely urban environment. It shows how although cities and all technology and made-made stuff seems great, there is always a downside excluding nature. Finally, it also teaches people to stand up for what is right, even when everyone around you disagrees or criticizes you. Overall, a good and inspiring movie.
